Second only to the bride, it’s very likely that the flower girl garners the most excitement as she parades down the wedding aisle, petals in tow. Who wouldn’t let out an “aww” or two?! A sweet way to include a niece, God-daughter, or family friend, having a flower girl in your wedding party is a tradition that plays into the cute factor as much as it precludes the big moment. And part of that total cuteness is absolutely the flower girl fashion! To help you out, we found the most adorable flower girl dresses for your little darling to dance the night away below. But first, let’s answer some frequent questions!
Where to buy flower girl dresses?
Flower girl fashion is like dressing your mini-me, so it’s no surprise that some of our favorite places to buy flower girl dresses are the same as where we shop for wedding dresses! BHLDN is reliable for the latest on-trend styles and consistent price ranges, generally $75-$200. Tutu du monde is our favorite brand for tulle dresses for little ladies. And we also love finding small businesses to support through Etsy. All the shops you’ll find in this list are vetted for original, quality designs, and excellent consistency in reviews. But that’s not all! We found a few more excellent shops and designers below.
What color are flower girl dresses?
While ivory or white is tradition, dresses for flower girls come in several colors in styles. If you know anything about us, you know we are not beholden to tradition! And that’s why you’ll certainly see some color on this list. (If you love a blush dress, get ready.)
When to order flower girl dresses?
It’s important to order the dress early—but not too early that she’ll grow out of it. If you wait too long, it might sell out. To keep things safe, we recommend ordering early and purchasing a size up that can then be tailored closer to the date if necessary. You’ll also need to consider the method of purchase. Most online stores will ship within 1-2 weeks but if the dress is custom, be sure to factor in the designer’s time frame.
Who pays for flower girl dresses?
Traditionally, the flower girl’s parents pay for the dress, but the couple can offer to pay as a way to show appreciation. If the parents are paying, it’s nice to find a few dresses you like in various price ranges and let them make the final decision.
Speaking of finding dresses, it’s time to shop! Below, we’ve organized the most adorable dresses in popular categories like ivory, long sleeve, black, blush, and red.

White or Ivory Flower Girl Dresses
It’s said that the flower girl represents the bride’s youth and purity, as well as a blessing for fertility in the future. Do with that information what you will! But a little girl in a white or ivory dress is simply adorable, no matter the reason.
11. Puff Sleeve Flower Girl Dress
This best-selling dress features on-trend puff sleeves and is sure to make your little one feel like a princess or ballerina on the big day! It’s available in a few different colors and sizes 12 months to 12 years old.
Long Sleeve Flower Girl Dresses
You might love a long-sleeve dress if you’re planning a wedding during the cooler months. Or perhaps the bride will be in long sleeves and you want a similar look! Tip: Be on the lookout for a sleeve that’s either loose or has a little bit of stretch for easy movement.
15. Ruffle Linen Long Sleeve Dress
How utterly sweet is this dress? It’s the ruffles on the shoulders for us.

Blush Flower Girl Dresses
We love blush for its ability to go neutral and unique all at once. If you’re thinking of choosing a dress for your flower girl that isn’t white or ivory, but you still want to keep things semi-traditional, blush is your color.
28. Blush Tulle Flower Girl Dress
For the true princess, there is no other dress but this one. From the tiered tulle skirt to the tulle top, give this flower girl a wand and watch the magic unfold. It also comes in a few other colors if you love this style, but looking for another color!
Red Flower Girl Dresses
Little lady in red? It’s uncommon but definitely not unheard of. If you’re searching for something darling in red, here are our favorites!
